I just got a sweet Boss Jack variant, thought I'd compare it to my CG model with some pics....

I'm not sure exactly what variant I have, but I believe it came from one of the shows.


Here's a shot of it in hand, it feels great in my hands! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Obligatory side by side comparison photo....

I think I prefer the G-10 slabs on the show variant more at this point, the CG slabs seem a bit too aggressively textured for my tastes.

The show variant sports a fuller, and the grind is a saber with a convex bevel down to the secondary bevel.

This makes for a much thicker edge than the CG, yet it still cuts very well.

I plan on taking these to the grave with me, I've found my grail with these Jack's! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

That is, unless Dan comes out with an INFI 611 with a War Dog handle...... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

Nice pics AFF. The only difference I see is the groove.

The grind is quite different on the Show variant, along with the handles being textured differently.

The CG has a "mellow" Full Convex grind, whereas the Show Variant has a Convex Saber Grind. This makes the edge noticeably thicker on this model vs. the CG.

The handle on the CG is fully "rope" cut, vs. the semi "rope" cut with light texturing on the show variant.

What a generous offer! I may take you up on that..... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

The difference is slight but noticeable, I guess it depends on what activities you were using the knife for....

Looks like you picked up the Boss Jack I've been drooling over for months <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> Congrats on the score. It is one sweet looking blade! Someday I hope to have one.

Boss Jack 101. I see the differences now. Thanks AFF.
